As WAFL FootyFacts is continually expanding, this page will keep you up to date with the latest updates to the site, whether its a correction, an expansion of the player database, a new range of stats or charts, this is where to go to see all that's new on the biggest resource of WAFL records anywhere.
Each week detailed statistical previews are added every Wednesday or Thursday. I will not add the previews on this page, but check for the updated link on the home page or Facebook and Twitter.
If you find this website and my work of value, please consider making a small donation to support my efforts via the link below.
Rounds: Added a new page to the Rounds page which displays the range of margins per round per season including the average margins per round.
Example player profile: Rounds > Round by Round Margin Table
Rounds: Added a new page to the Rounds page which lists the summary of games played, won/lost/drawn, goals, behinds, total points, scoring shots and goal accuracy.
Example player profile: Rounds > Round by Round Summary
Player Records - Player Profile: Added date of birth, date of debut and age at debut, along with date of last game and age of last game to the player profile page.
I only have DOB for ~5500 players out of the ~9600 in my database presently, so information will not be available on all profiles.
Where players played in seasons where I dont have complete records, data may be incorrect for some players as the data is based on the records in my database.
Example player profile: Player Records > Players > Stephen Malaxos
Game previews: Two new pages added to replace the indivdual game preview pages. The first is a quick head-to-head stats page for the upcoming round. The second head-to-head page allows you to select two teams and a current venue to view an extended range of head-to-head stats.
Head-to-head quick facts including form guides, season and a large range of player stats.
Premiers: You can now see a list of of premiers for each grade an a table showing the number of premierships for each team. For League premiers and premiership tally, these pages are available in the All Teams index page. For Reserves, Colts and Fourths, you can access these pages from the index page for each grade.
League premiers by season and tally.
Reserves premiers by season and tally.
Colts premiers by season and tally.
Fourths premiers by season and tally.
Player Records - All Players: Corrected the career span to show actual seasons played, rather than just showing the first year to last year. For example if a player played in 2015, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, the career span was showing 2015-2023, it now will show as 2015, 2020-2023. Note: The career span will still show as previous on a mobile phone viewed in portrait mode. (eg. 2015-2023)
Also added links to the teams pages for the team that the players played for. Previously the teams were listed without a link.
Site Search - Players: Similar change made to the player search page as the above. ie: change to how career span shown and links added to teams.

Game Stats: Added a new tab on the Game Stats pages 'Game Notes'. This tab will include league and team records acheived in the game and match reports mainly from Trove and Football Budgets. Where the Game Notes tab is poplulated a comment "See Game Notes" will appear under the result. Only a very small number of games have information in this tab at the moment, but I will expand the games covered over time. Note: The tabs in the Gaem Stats page are not able to be viewed on a mobile phone unless viewed in landscape mode.

Scores & Results: Corrected the order that games appear on the season scores and results pages for 1939, 1946 and 1951. This was required as games where played out of sequence from their allocated round number due to teams travelling over east thorughout the seasons, meaning games needed to be rescheduled to accomodate their travels. These were games intially missed in my update on 15 August 2022.
Season Scores and Results for 1946
Players: All players for all teams added for the 1938 season. WAFLFootyFacts now has the full team lists for every WAFL game played since 1947 and for Claremont (1926) and Swan Districts (1934) since inception, along with the 1906 season and from 1926 up to and including 1938!!

Game stats: You can now see the games played total for each player in each match on the game stats pages (up to that game). Below the player stats, I've highlighted player game milestones which lists any debutants, 50,100 etc that played in the game. I've also indicated if the player was listed by West Coast or Fremantle during the season. (Note: for seasons prior to 1947 the games played figures and milestones may not be accurate due to the limitations on the player data - see my About pages for me about the player data on my site.)
Example game: South Fremantle v Peel Thunder, 2022 Elimination Final
Players: All players for all teams added for the 1928 season. WAFLFootyFacts now has the full team lists for every WAFL game played since 1947 and for Claremont (1926) and Swan Districts (1934) since inception, along with the 1906, 1926-1928 and 1931-1937 seasons!!
Margins: Added six new pages to the margin records for all teams to list quarters where the scores have been level. Includes scores level at each break and where margins have been level at the end two quarters.
Scores & Results: Amended match data to correct the match order for games played out of sequence. For example in the 1920’s to 1965 and again in 1987 games from later rounds were played before round 1. I had always shown them in the season results page as played in the actual round rather than when they were actually played. The matches now appear in the correct order for team game by game lists now too.
Although the weekly ladder on the season page will be correct, I will have to adjust the ladder positions table for those seasons. A manual job for another day.
Affected seasons are: 1929, 1938, 1940, 1947-49, 1952, 1954-55, 1957, 1959-60, 1965 and 1987.
